So true.....
but i`m guessing he forgot to set back the CPU from 1,98Ghz

Faulty battery probably...

Saw that article. First thing I looked at was battery. Not anker, looked like stock. Also, judging by the pics, fire came from the motherboard not battery. **** happens. I'd ask for free replacement for life with every new release

I imagine you meant "sells" instead of "sales"....
That's a very subjective question. One persons gem is another persons POS.
If you look at it in terms of hardware specs, price etc...the Sensation, G2X, Galaxy 4G...
Again though...that's if you like touchscreen devices with Android.

I remember the first time I saw a guy with a star tac. I stopped him and asked to see it. Then I asked him how much it cost. I remember my jaw dropping when he said $1000. Can you believe that phone was over $1000 when it FIRST came out?? The first carrier to have it was bell Atlantic (now verizon)
I was 20 then, so that was almost 16 years ago

$1000? he got a deal then.
I paid $1500 for the Microtac elite... and that was WITH contract.
(elite was the top of the line model that came out literally 3 months before the startec. it had the capability of answering machine. a whole 30 seconds... state of the art in it's day. lol!)
Your phones are LAME!!!! This one is much better:
It has Android 0.0.0.0.0.0.1 preinstalled!

Oh, i talked to HTC customer support today about some problems, and asked if they had any plans to release custom battery covers, and i gave him the link to your blog, and he liked it! So he went away for a couple of minutes, came back and even gave me price for custom battery covers, it was 75 USD in Norway, maybe cheaper in other country's

I love that cover. However wouldn't that process be faster if you use a metal paint remover?
Just an observation, that's what I had in mind to use.
Is there a reason why you selected a different route?
Great job however

It would be easily painted tbh, it would need sanding down then painting with a primer/undercoat then a topcoat of your choosing (Depending on the paint you may need to add a top coat of lacquer)

Quietly Brilliant right? Sorry, just couldn't resist it.
This guy has beat HTC at their own design.
The problem with the pain removers is that it would also remove it from the "htc" which then takes away from the appeal imo.
if you look at the pictures theyre still black against chrome
maybe you guys are looking at this thing too much and now his site is down because

What was the point of starting this thread if you are going to wait until the phone is released before you post pics? by then every android blog will have posted pics/comparisons you are probably just an employee who took pics of the damn box but haven't actually opened one.........

Starting this thread is somewhat pointless and you should edit the name because its just a front and back photo of the box....also you should have covered the imei because now someone can call tmobile and get the device blocked from their database.
T-Mobile just got their stock yesterday in my area and u can walk in now and test the device if a employee has it in hand but they won't be on sale till wed/thurs.
By time u decide to do a actual review other people will have the phone.
Thanks anyway......FOR NOTHING.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium App
so.. what is the point of this thread? you dont post any reviews, comparison, not even pics of the phone
From the pic he is clearly sitting in a T-Mobile [email protected] the store on the customer side....but that may mean nothing. Just wanted to point that out. A worker could have just been showing him the device and he snapped photos.
The only people that have this device is the workers and possible bloggers and they aren't dumb enough to post the imei before release or even after.
The only tmo device that leaked before actual selling date is the Amaze.

hi. nice hardware mod...or better tuning on your one s. I use this method with all metallic htc's phone. Especially with htc sensation. Now I thouk the same things but, this phone you know has a problem about paint. In fact thanks to warrantly it is possible to send the phone to htc centre, so they can resolve the problem.
now with this mod....the do this again???
I was also thinking doing this to my one-s because of the chipping damage at the top of my phone (I did this to my sensation some time ago) but it is a hell of a job!
Looks to me pretty nice, although it remind me of my fridge lol how u do it?

I would try to get the red of the camera ring polished off aswell! looks great though. Gives me another excuse to not use a case.
I really like the front but not sure on the back, think it needs a different colour for the black bits.
It's awesome, but I wouldn't void my warranty for it.
Sent from my locked, tampered ville
Thankfully my one S hasn't shown any chipping issues (apart from the USB port edges), but when/if the top, sides or/and back do, then I will also do the same to my one S! Think it looks really good and I usually hate any mobile/tech. device that isn't black/grey
I posted some other photos here (took them from another forum) and posted the link to guides on how to do it etc.
